    That’s the whole point of it though. A safe protest is not a protest at all. It’s performative.

      Right i get that, but after seeing these protests what i take away from them is 1. They are ineffective, 2. Very costly for the participants. 3. The meaning will be perverted by news orgs. 4. Neither political party wants to see these succeed. It is performative in showing that the cause of reform is pointless. Which is exactly what the overbearing police action was designed to portray
